2009 Vino Classic owner considering trading up to a Zuma125

I just test drove a 2009 Zuma 125 in Napa.I found the seat very comfortable. The seat position is a bit high, but I dealt with that by moving up on the seat at stops or tiliting to one side and one footing the stopped scooter. This is a very monor consideration.



I was happy to see plenty of room... for a full face helmut under the seat. As soon as I started the engine and twisted the throttle, the Zuma communicated that it was "ready to rumble". This is no "girly man" scooter!It has the personality of a Jack Russell Terrior;anxious, agressive and very energetic. The throttle response and sure grip brakes engender lots of rider confidence. This scooter takes off like a jack rabbit and stops on a dime.

So with my new found confidence, I took it down the worst steet in town and thought "damn the torpedoes" and pitted the 2009 Zuma agianst the Napa potholes. They verdict from the judges is in;Zuma 10-potholes 0. The Zuma said to me through the handlebars,tires and shocks " Can I have some more, sir?"

This is one fun scooter. In the next week or 2, I'll test drive the Vino 125 and determine if I really want a cute cruiser or bat out of hell. Stay tuned.

Zuma 125 is safer

I live in Key West Fl. which allows me to ride yaer long. I have only put 10 miles on the new bike and can't believe how much safer i feel in traffic, That's right, this little 2 x 4 island has 5 1/2 million visitors a year. The traffic can be nauseating. I can now flow with anything on the road. Al...so, we have a great dealership here as Al and Howard give me the confidence that if something does go awry, they always get it done. I owned a Zuma 50 for 7 years and love the product. But the 125, no contest, the weight, the torque, the comfort all made me glad this was my choice, as i was also interested in the genuine blackjack. Gotta go , i need to get back out there.

Worth every penny!

I rode many scooters before I got the zuma 125. This is hands down the best scooter you can buy. Very stable at speed and accelerates better than most cars.



I could have spent less but the cheap clone scooters just dont hold a candle to the zuma 125. Gas milage is all they claim and more and I... get a big kick out of filling it up for under 2 bucks and then driving over a hundred miles.

Great Scoot

After a year recovering from a purchase of a 150cc Chinese scooter that wouldn't run right I finally dumped the thing and picked up the Zuma 125. Wow what a difference ! Solid,great ride, acceleration,gas mileage (first 2 mileage checks netted 100 MPG !) Can't say enough good things about this scoo...ter. I also added the windshield. Great little cruiser. Great job Yamaha. Read Full Review
